Our classes
At The Centre of Dance, we combine the artistic excellence of the Vaganova method with the structure and accessibility of the Australian Conservatoire of Ballet (ACB) syllabus. Our teachers are graduates of the Vaganova system and bring deep knowledge of classical ballet technique to every class. While our roots are in the Russian tradition, we proudly teach the internationally recognised ACB syllabus, offering students the opportunity to complete formal ballet assessments and receive certification.
Join us for a dynamic and inclusive dance experience at our studio, where we proudly teach the esteemed Vaganova method in classical ballet.
